Rating:    PENS!!!!
 

Running Out of Time

Baggage Claim is a hilarious novel of one woman’s quest to be married. Being brought up brainwashed by tradition, Montana Moore was taught you weren’t a woman until you were married. When she gets the shocking news that her youngest sister Sheree is getting married, Montana is forced with thirty days to find a husband while she flies miles around the country as a flight attendant.

Strangled by her fears of other people’s perceptions, Montana races to find love everlasting from city to city and state to state while her love was there all along. Talbert has done a stupendous job creating his characters. They are comical and the emotions of the characters draw you in.

Although I enjoyed this book, I became quite irritated with the repeating of words to emphasize the emotion. It wasn’t so much as redundancy as it appears to be his style of writing. I thought there were far too many clichés as well as sentences that rhyme. It is definitely great stage writing, but for literary purposes, it was a bit much. However, I am not turned off by Mr. Talbert’s work. I would surely pick up another novel written by him.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a little laughter as they wind down at the end of their day. This book will keep you turning the pages as you giggle your day to day grim away.
